The four races lived together, each
compensating for what the others were missing.

As deadly monsters abound in the world, the weak had no choice but to rely on one another to survive.

Dwarf women with deft hands served as midwives to baby Orcs. Orcs in infancy were christened by elven women, and human women bathed them clean in water. The elf rangers gathered fruit from trees, the dwarf crafters made tools, and human scouts hunted game along with the Orc warriors.

Orcs,
who were fully developed within two to three years, were fine warriors by
nature. Born with unnatural strength and a battle instinct, they sustained the
elves and humans. The Orcs claimed the
leadership of the four races both in name and reality as no other race could
keep up with the fertility and combat skills of the Orcs.

However, when humans developed agricultural techniques, domesticating plants and animals, they took over the food supply chain, and gradually challenged the supremacy of the Orcs.

The elves, who learned elemental and spirit magic from their alliance with
Nature, became arrogant and began to distance themselves from the Orcs, who
they branded ignorant.

The dwarves advanced metals technology day after day,
which gave them a new generation of weaponry to brave the Orcs.

The alliance of
the four races was dismantled after a series of numerous hostile disagreements
and bouts of jealousy.

Eventually the
humans built villages and then towns on rich soil, which later banded together
to create kingdoms. The elves moved into
the Forest of No Return where the elements and spirits were magnified in
effect, extending their domain over their magic widely. The Orcs dispersed all over the wilderness and
virgin soil, hunting the wild and distressing the civilized as they wished,
enjoying combat without restraint. The
dwarves stayed holed up in the mountains, mining raw ore and refining their
crafts.

Inevitably, the humans and Orcs
argued over scarce food, and the elves and the dwarves loathed each other in a
struggle to secure pre-eminence in the Natural world. This is the history of the Versailles
Continent, the forgotten myth of four races". {Vol 1 Ch 4}
